Money is their problem.
- assembled decent squad but financed by owner as Leicester revenue stream not big enough to pay for players
- Wages of squad circa 85% of total revenues = Leicester lose money every day of year.
- Owner's main business is duty free shops in airport, with covid limited flying hence owner struggling for cash, therefore cannot support Leicester as before
Hence club's only way forward is to sell players - but already announced they don't want to sell Maddison and Forfana (their 2 most valuable players). Tielemans was expected to leave as only one year left on contract, but bids have been much lower than Leicester wanted - rumoured that highest bid circa £25m - hence not sold yet.
Leicester pushing 'not for sale' Forfana price to Chelsea up by refusing offers, will Chelsea eventually bid £100m for a player worth £50m to part solve Leicester problems ?
Might explain to some on this board why no serious bid made for Maddison.
Yep, Lecister really have to sell one of Fofana or Maddison but I think they are more reluctant on Fofana as he is basically their defence, they at least have some other decent attackers outside of Maddison.
